What Is The Proof Of The Buddha’s Enlightenment? Enlightenment is the realisation of the truth of our reality, and whatever obscures this. We don’t have to delve into the past to realise our true reality, as the proof is right … Continue reading →

Why Keep it Simple? Modern life is extremely complicated and wealth-consuming, and becomes all-absorbing. Spiritual matters are also extremely complicated and wealth-consuming, and become all-absorbing. Both temporal and spiritual matters rely on our guilt, fear and hope in order to … Continue reading →

Trapped In Space Not realising that we are pure consciousness or empty cognisance, we become trapped in the space of our own reality through distraction. Consciousness, like space, never changes. Nothing created them; they just became cluttered. 😀 Through natural … Continue reading →

Contemplative Essence Contemplation: a place of sustained observation. Contemplative observation is our absolutely reality, resulting in wisdom, and manifesting in our relative reality as compassion. From this viewpoint, the world is seen as constant and compounded misinformation.

The Perfect Business Model = Keep ’em Updating The perfect business model is getting people to update their toys, or their consciousness. Business and religions both want us to join their club – their gravy train – and that’s hard … Continue reading →

Influencers Influence Influencers … Influences influence influences, who influence us. We in turn influence others. This is a meme at work – an element of cultural behaviour passed from one individual to another by imitation. TV, the media, films, our chit-chat – all … Continue reading →

My Karma Is Worry Worry has been with me all my life. This worry isn’t overwhelming; it’s just seeing possible consequences of an action or inaction. Things have to be ‘repaired’, but which one first? Should I write, or not … Continue reading →

Contemplative Essence Contemplation: a place of sustained observation. Contemplative observation is our absolutely reality, resulting in wisdom, and manifesting in our relative reality as compassion. From this viewpoint, the world is seen as constant and compounded misinformation.

Are People Who Trust Themselves A Nuisance? Are people who trust themselves a nuisance? Do people think that truth stops at a guru? Is religion institutionalised guilt? Have we adopted a persona? Do we have to use cautious language? It … Continue reading →

Should We Be More Skeptical?  Just accepting whatever we are told is plain daft! Don’t trust anyone who expects you to believe what they say to be true. Test it for yourself. Skeptic: a person inclined to question or doubt accepted opinions. Is … Continue reading →

IQ & EQ = Types Of Human Being Our IQ (intelligence quotient) is a measure of a person’s reasoning ability, and how well someone can use information and logic to answer questions or make predictions. Our EQ (emotional quotient or emotional … Continue reading →

The Essence Of Mind Is Consciousness The essence of mind is conscious cognisance, the ability to know. Whatever is known is then stored as content in the mind, as memories in the form of our thoughts and feelings. Whatever is … Continue reading →

This Is How Truth Works Absolute truth is wisdom. Relative truth is compassion. Wisdom: realising our true being of pure consciousness. Compassion: the manifestation of that wisdom. We can only have true compassion (love) when we realise that that very … Continue reading →

How The World Was Won The world was won by mediocracy. Mediocre: of only average quality; not very good. Mediocracy: a dominant class consisting of mediocre people, or a system in which mediocrity is rewarded: a mediocracy of successful careerists and yes-men. When we know our true nature, everything less is inferior. Except … Continue reading →

Is Being, Interesting? The less reified we become, the less ‘real’ we become, the less interesting we become. Become: begin to be. 🙂

The Psychology Of Consciousness It’s what spirituality is all about. Understanding how consciousness works will help us realise how we work. If we don’t know the essence of a subject, how can we know about it? All we will do is go through a … Continue reading →

The Mirror: The Weapon Of Choice We are all pure consciousness – mirrors that reflect images. The question is; do we believe in these images, or do we see them as mere reflections? The way in which we react to … Continue reading →

Not Guilty Just Misguided The world around us portrays an image of itself for us to emulate. Being confused about this state of affairs we follow along. We become misguided. Religions are like that. One never feels good enough, with … Continue reading →

Our Reactions To Others’ Reactions Our reactions to others’ reactions tells us everything that we need to know about ourself. Our reactions are usually defensive, and then become aggressive because of our need to preserve our precious self-image of which … Continue reading →

Those Who Comply Run The World They enable. It is the students who give a teacher the authority to teach. No follower, no teacher. When we simply go along with the official narrative of any organisation, we not only give … Continue reading →

The Age Of Ideas We become whatever we identify with. We think this is the age of things, when it is actually the age of ideas. We are sold ideas from birth to reinforce either a weakened or strong self … Continue reading →

Free To Realise Our Own Translation The ultimate truth has always been within, without the words of others. Pure consciousness is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. It makes me to rest in naturalness, leading to the quiet … Continue reading →

Ignorance Is Bliss – Perfect Happiness So they say … If one is unaware of an unpleasant fact or situation, one cannot be troubled by it. That is the ultimate oxymoron. Ignorance means that we succumb to the negative forces … Continue reading →

How Many Know? How many people know their (our) true nature? Some know about our true nature, but that doesn’t mean they know or experience it: it is still theory. How would we know that they know? 🙂 Well, first, we’d have to know … Continue reading →

Ordinary Consciousness And Pure Consciousness It is a good practice to experience the difference. Pure consciousness is open presence – ready for anything. Ordinary consciousness is closed presence – not ready for anything. If we don’t know pure consciousness, we … Continue reading →
